RC:Representation for me is not feeling different when I read/see something. É me sentir parte do mundo em pé de igualdade. É minha existência não estar atrelada apenas à escravidão, como a escola parece dizer e a novela repetir. É saber que a minha história, a história da minha família, não é só tristeza ou estereótipos repetidos por gente mau-caráter. Não ter que me adequar a uma vivência tão diferente, dilemas que não são meus. RC: Representação para mim é não me sentir diferente quando leio/assisto algo. I confess that I used to avoid thinking much about this and wanted to focus on today, but making this story was like making peace with the boy that I was. And it was cathartic for me, listing events and remembering how I felt without understanding much of what was happening. Rafael Calça (RC): Jefferson and I talked about what we went through in childhood and how certain events are common to the black lived experience.
Confesso que evitava pensar muito nisso e queria focar no hoje, mas fazer essa história foi como fazer as pazes com o menino que eu fui. E foi uma catarse pra mim, listar situações e lembrar como me senti sem entender muito o que acontecia. Rafael Calça (RC): O Jefferson e eu conversamos sobre o que passamos na infância e como certos eventos são comuns na vivência negra. Global Voices (GV): In the creation of the comic, you investigated stories, events, and insecurities of a black child of school age. I spoke with scriptwriter Rafael Calça to learn about how he created the story and the feedback he has had from the readers since: It is a read that certainly would have helped this writer to face his days at school. The authors managed to create a work that is very tough in some of the stories that it tells and very sensitive in its essence and the sweetness that endures at the end of the comic. Jeremias – Pele , as well as entertaining, could help children and families deal with this situation. If it is hard for most people, for a black child the journey is even more difficult, as there is one other component: racism. School age is a time of tough trials, a time of turbulent hormonal changes when one builds convictions and creates their own personality.

In the case of Jeremias, this was manifested in the works of Rafael Calça (script) and Jefferson Costa (art and colour), two black artists, inspired by so many other youths and adults for whom skin colour has already been a subject of debate.Įxcerpt from Jeremias – Pele, used with the author's permission.
#Review ireador series
With the series Graphic MSP, creator Maurício de Sousa revisited his classic characters with the contemporary outlooks of new artists, who then told stories under different perspectives. Jeremias - who was created in 1960 and is the first black character of the group – had never led his own story. Created in the 1960s by Maurício de Sousa, the series of comic stories influenced generations of children in Brazil and around 40 other countries, having been translated into 14 languages. Thank you for the incredible work that you are doing.Excerpt from Jeremias – Pele, used with the author's permission.“I exist and I want people to see me as I am.” The phrase, uttered with a firm voice, is that of Jeremias, a black boy and a character of the Brazilian comic Turma da Mônica (Monica’s Gang). I tell all new moms about TAPS because I know how much of a difference it can make in how we parent and how we view ourselves as mothers. I am so grateful to have found this organization and to know that it is helping other women like me. Her email updates were especially appreciated – it was obvious how much effort went into organizing and summarizing our discussions. This has been a strange year for everyone, and the virtual format is a very difficult one to pull off seamlessly, but did a wonderful job. Our group leader - organized, supportive, and extremely knowledgeable - truly wise and kind. I was so fortunate to find someone who could empathize and provide encouragement that it would likely get better, and it has. By a stroke of luck, the other mom in our group had gone through the same thing with her first child. It was completely unexpected and made me feel even more isolated and scared than I did with my first baby. With my second son, I faced random, severe insomnia out of nowhere two months after my son was born. TAPS more than anything else I read or did helped to normalize my experiences and provided me a much needed social outlet during a lonely time.
With my first child, I was experiencing some feelings of isolation and even some regret about becoming a parent. This is my second time doing TAPS, and my experience has been incredible both times.
